ever entered the portals of a church, cathedral, or

All Sports in Angling. "The sport that sums up 

 dancing, song and picture, athletics and all games of 

 chance is angling. The waves make you dance, all 

 pictures roll before you, any chance can win the pool, 

 and every fishing boat is a sdngerfest." B. M. 

 Briggs. 



Early Trout Angling. " Don't let anyone tell you 

 of the folly of trout fishing in early April. It's great 

 sport, and if you're skillful enough to get a few of the 

 gamest and wisest fish that swims at this time of the 

 year your success will be complete in May and June, 

 when the ideal weather comes. " H. T. Walden. 



Skill vs. Kill. "To qualify as a sportsman in the 

 taking of any kind of game, a man must show much 

 more enthusiasm in skill rather than in the kill, 

 always remembering to give or inflict the least pain 

 possible on the game taken by his skill." Wes* 

 Wood. 



Rainbow Trout Angling. " I get harder play with a 

 three-pound rainbow trout than with a maskinonge of 

 twenty-five pounds. I have caught only a few rainbow 

 trout. The first one I ever caught was three years 

 ago in the Esopus Creek in the Catskills. I felt some- 

 what relieved when I had him in the net. He was the 

 gamest fish for his size I ever hooked, and I have 

 killed ten and twelve pound salmon on a trout rod. 

 The rainbow trout is first cousin to the lordly salmon." 

 M. J. Doyle.
